opinion of replacing valves for a galvanize pipe

Can someone tell me if its worth the trouble switching out some old brass valves on an all galvanized pipe sprinkler system with new hunter srv valves. My friend wants to make the his system automatic. I know galv. pipe corrodes and scales on the inside and I would think it would plug the diaphram on the new valves. Your opinions would be appreciated. By the way the system is 42 yrs old.

Educate me on use of a flow control

The reason I ask is I am planning on using some sprays on a 7'X65' strip. I was told anything under 12' radius would mist badly. So I'm trying to find out if I can use 12' sprays and reduce radius with flow control on valve? I have 53 psi and plan on running 10-12gpm per zone.
